A mound of eight tonnes in shingle and sand shed from a lorry is causing queuing traffic in Chelmsford.
A Jewson lorry shed its load of eight bags in shingle and sand at about 8am today (December 2) at the Boreham Interchange roundabout connecting the A130 with Generals Lane.
The Highways Authority closed one lane on the A130 northbound adjoining the roundabout while two police officers attended.
Traffic is queuing on the road between Sainsbury's supermarket on White Hart Lane and the roundabout, and also on the A12 northbound before the turn-off onto the roundabout.
A Highways Authority officer at the scene said the shingle and sand will be removed by 11am.
